Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-3 Concentrations in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) concentrations in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to compare the results according to disease severity and duration. METHODS: Fifty-one children with OSAHS underwent polysomnography and were classified as having mild, moderate, or severe disease. All children underwent bilateral tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy or adenoidectomy. IGF-1 and… Show more

“…Pediatric OSA may occasionally lead to life-threatening complications, but less serious complications, such as failure to thrive, are more commonly recognized. 11 To explain this latter observation, it has recently been reported that serum levels of IGF-1 in children with OSA are increased after surgery, including tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy, [12][13][14] and when they are treated using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). 15 This finding highlights the association between OSA and reduced levels of IGF-1.…”

“…Inflammation, infection, and allergic stimulation of follicles of these lymphoid tissues usually result in their cellular hyperplasia and enlargement, thus causing varied degrees of pharyngeal airway obstruction [4,5]. The symptoms of obstruction caused by the enlarged lymphoid tissues result not only from their actual size, but also from their relative disproportional size to nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal airway space [6,7].…”
